Hello, not sure which line you are interested in, but JediDefender has an extensive list of 12 inch variations. Please click here. Choose "Variations" under the line of figures you wish to see. Please let us know if your needs have been met.

I have an Emperor 12" boxed that has a "Glow in the Dark Lighsaber included" stick attached that came from an old Hasbro source of mine. So in essence Hasbro does foul up at times... We all know that much.

So hard to say for sure... but most signs point to this being a switch...

The tape on anything Hasbro uses is easily removable with no sign of tampering at all. It can also be purchased at any office supply store... let alone the fact that if done correctly it can be resealed with the same tape itself.

Anyone that has been in the game long enough knows that this kind of stuff happens all the time, and can be done very easily.

Aside from that many packages ranging from 12" to playsets to vehicles have come out of freshly cracked cases w/ two layers of tape. So basically that could be done and in a sense no one could argue that it's 100% fake.

I have many 12" with two layers of tape one on top of the other all of which came from freshly opened cases.

I guess my only question is why would you want it to begin with....fake or not? I'm not trying to cause an arguement or anything but since this type of box is so easily opened you could switch boxes yourself and display it as a variant, so why pay for it unless you just want the doll.

Not really a variation but saw no need to start a new thread. I was opening up some of my old POTF2 12 inch figures and upon opening my Snowtrooper I was disappointed to see him with 2 right hands. He'll be a display and won't be too obvious to a passerby. Anyone else come across these types of problems with their 12 inch figs?
